kinda wild how stuff from the 70s can still shape what people trust today
this isn’t just about one retracted paper, it’s more like a reminder that early research (especially if industry-connected) can set the tone for decades. by the time it gets questioned, the product is already part of daily life
also retraction ≠ instant proof of harm, but it does reopen the whole risk convo + makes people rethink how safety claims were built in the first place
feels like the real lesson is how slow science + regulation can be to course-correct once something is widely accepted.
